		+
		+	=== Download needed files ===
		+	You will need to download the desired gentoo image and the EM mode utilities from http://kurobox.com/downloads/gentoo. With the gentoo image, you have two images to choose from, depending on your bootloader.
		+
		+	* If you are using the stock bootloader (as with a factory-fresh kurobox) you need to download [http://kurobox.com/downloads/gentoo/gentoo-20060907-stock.tar.bz2 gentoo-20060907-stock.tar.bz2]
		+	* If you are using uboot, you need to download [http://kurobox.com/downloads/gentoo/gentoo-20060907-uboot.tar.bz2 gentoo-20060907-uboot.tar.bz2]
		+
		+	Note, with a factory fresh box, you still might want to consider flashing uboot, as it offers the advantage of booting 2.6 kernels (without resorting to module tricks) and running a more current system. Read up on uboot on the wiki and the forums before you decide, as it could save you from re-doing things later. Some people might be perfectly happy sticking with the stock firmware while others would prefer to jump in and flash the uboot firmware. Please heed the warnings about making a brick before proceeding. To be absolutely carefree about flashing, you should have JTAG capability.
		+
		+	=== Install EM mode utilities ===
	Start by using any FTP client to upload EM_mode_binaries.tar.bz2 (you can download it from http://kurobox.com/downloads/gentoo to /tmp on the Kuro (hint: Windows may change the extension of the file when you download it from the internet).

	Using this method, you can install an entire Gentoo image complete with portage and overlay in about 15 minutes. The images were created immediately following a deep world update by russK. There are two versions and MD5 checksum files. One set for users with the stock bootloader and one set for those using U-Boot. They are stored in the [http://www.kurobox.com/downloads/gentoo Gentoo Downloads Section]. Download the particular image for your installation.
